- Do sexual differences in life strategies make male lizards more susceptible to parasite infection?
Mean ± 95% confidence interval of body condition (z‐standardised) for 899 male (black) and 565 female (grey) lacertid lizards across log10‐transformed parasitaemia levels of (a) Karyolysus and (b) Schellackia. The asterisk in (a) indicates a significant effect of the interaction between sex and parasitaemia; ‘n.s.’ in (b) stands for the non‐significance of the interaction.
